It's been said before that there are plenty of twists and turns in this league yet. based on form no-one really fancied you on Sunday yet, by all accounts, the scoreline hardly did you justice. Similarly Leigh got turned over by Doncaster who then proceeded to get beaten by Keighley; form seems to be very temporary at the moment so anything could happen.

I do hope that, in terms of how Black received his injury, the club have reviewed the DVD of Sunday's game and will be taking appropriate action. The 'cannonball' tackle is one of the most cowardly pieces of foul play in the modern game.

If that's what happened then the player involved should be severely punished. There's such a huge gulf between an accidental collision and a deliberate one of this kind that the video should show clearly which this was.

Real shame about Black if rumours are true and he misses rest of season. Makes things awkward for the remaining fixtures and our fight for survival. We do not have another recognised half back. When Black was regaining fitness in earlier games we tried various combinations none were really a success. Puzzler for Mr Kear only playing Davies at 6 comes to mind it worked at North Wales but not in other games, we will find out on Sunday. Hope Gledhill is fit for more poundage up front . We have to win the pack battle if we are to be victorious . All aboard the Mount Pleasant roller coaster its gonna be a thrilling ride.

In regards to having cover for Ben Black's injury. I would be surprised if the club did not have a plan in place .A option that was mentioned earlier in the season was Jake Connor at halfback. Sunday might be the game to give it a go. Davies looks to be back to his normal form in the second row after a dip in form due to a back injury so would not want to see him moved.

Batley are massive underdogs on Sunday whoever plays at halfback. Could do with a repeat of the Championship play off display of last season plus a bit of wind and rain weatherwise.

I am expecting another tough encounter as it always is against you guys.

If you let us play, we will win comfortably. If you get in our faces, anything can happen. We riped Rochdale apart on the fringes last week, yet our defence was not as good as it should be.

Either way, there will be a big and vocal Leigh following to what I deem as my favourite championship ground. Heres hoping it is a pleasant afternoon at the Mount. It shoulkd be one of your best attendances thats for sure !!

Who did the cannonball? Talapapa by any chance? He finished Alex Brown's game off at the Mount with one right in the kidneys. Horrible, deliberate and always unpunished.

have been trying to find a link to highlights,cannonballs below knees so doubt kidneys involved even thou alex did get a few cheap shots including his contact stuck in his eyeball at the game at mount. am sure when we see the clip its knowles and ben hadent got the ball. it were hard to see game propper when your only 5ft at owlerton and there so far away, best view is in the hare and hounds bar but the bodygaurd said it were for sheffield fans only..
